History
The story of OCV Control Valves began more than 50 years ago, when founder Tex Radford decided to expand his existing machine shop to begin designing and manufacturing control valves in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He built his company with a vision of commitment to quality and reliability.
Since its modest beginning, OCV Control Valves has maintained that vision while becoming a worldwide leader in the valve industry. OCV provides valves in some capacity to nearly every country in the world while maintaining a personal touch and commitment to service.
The company’s first valve was designed as an OEM component for manufacturers engaged in packaging fueling stations for jet aircraft. OCV then expanded to other petroleum-related services including metering equipment, pipeline and distribution systems.
OCV markets worldwide through manufacturer’s representatives both foreign and domestic. OCV stands behind its products with engineering support, competitive pricing, quality manufacturing, prompt delivery and reputable field service and training.
But the main focus is on quality and service. The staff has followed these ideals from the beginning. Employees at OCV average more than 15 years of service with the company. Their experience and knowledge is why OCV Control Valves provides superior products and services.
